Female Moustache

    A friend of mine is starting to grow a bit of a moustache and I would like some advice on the best way of telling her to do something about it.
    She clearly bleaches it but at this stage bleach will hide it no more.

    Just for the record, she's not ugly or anything, and she's up-to-date with all the latest fashion trends so no Susan Boyle comparisons please!

    Gillette. The best a man woman can get.

    Serious answer; Laser it, I suppose.

    Far too awkward, I wouldn't say anything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 136 ✭✭Raemie


    just leave it, she'll probably decide herself to wax at some point


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Alessandra


    Are you male? If so DO NOT say anything.. Get a female friend to bring up waxing..
    Really don't see how it's a problem for you though? If the girl is making an effort to conceal it then she knows it's there...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    Strategically sit here in front of a mirror next time she comes over and give her a glass of milk,see if she notices and gets embarrassed!

    Threading is not as readily available in Ireland as it is in the UK. Threading is not recommended for the upper lip. It is better to get it waxed apparently.

    I've seen that in Amsterdam. Weird looking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭smellslikeshoes


    Don't say anything, she is probably embarrassed enough by it and you saying something will be mortifying. If it's noticeble enough for you to see it I'm sure she knows it's there and will probably get it sorted herself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭Lillylilly


    Unless it's giving you a rash when you're kissing her- SAY NOTHING!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    If your a man you should say "God, i wish i could grow a moustache like yours".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Say something like "you'd be really hot if you got rid of the ronnie". Women love stuff like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Maybe she likes having a moustache. I know I do. [sometimes]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,599 ✭✭✭newmember2


    You won't be complaining when it's caressing your balls when you're 69ing with her.

    Did you ever hear the saying "dont shoot the messenger" - keep your gob shut and say nothing!!As for threading - I got my eyebrows done just before Christmas while in Cork. The beautician in the Spa in the Metropole Hotel on McCurtain Street uses this method - it was brill - no re-growth until end of Jan

    Are you a hairy Mary?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    Take a photo of her where the moustache is really obvious then e-mail it to her or put it on facebook.

    Nice. Do anything fancy with the armpits? Plats, corn-rows etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    I don't get this. If she spends time bleaching why doesn't she just have it waxed or use a bit of Veet. It would take the same amount of time, a tache on a woman is one thing I can't stand, FFS its so easily dealt with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 740 ✭✭✭star.chaser


    hi [friends name],

    I've been bleaching my hairy arse for a while now but the hair is growing too course and dark and the bleach isn't doing much.
    i was thinking of trying waxing my hairy arse now. Do you know if that stuff is any good?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 178 ✭✭eirmail


    Just email here a link to this thread from an anonymous email address.

    If you want to I can send her an email , just PM me her email address.

    Get a child to say it, people cant be mad at children...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    You don't need to say anything. If she is growing a bit of a Willie O'Dea then she has surely already realised it and either:
    a) Doesn't care

    or

    b) Is already in the process of trying to sort it

    No need for you to get involved.

    I can understand how it would affect you terribly all right, but try not to let it get to you, and just ignore it...
    Just for the record, she's not ugly or anything, and she's up-to-date with all the latest fashion trends
    Oh thank god! It's good to know your friends have the qualities friends should have...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Just duct tape it when she is passed out drunk.
    How manly men wax.

    Because it looks disgusting and in my mind is akin to not washing. Every woman has some kind of facial hair but when its clearly visible you have to do something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    When people don't wash, you have to put up with the honk if you're near them, so therefore it affects you.

    When people have physical attributes that you deem disgusting but otherwise it doesn't impinge on you, ignore?

    How does her ronnie affect you in any way or shape? Why feel the urge to tell her? Clearly she's doing something about it, leave her be. If she wanted to wax it instead of bleaching it she'd have done that already. Some people get rashes when they wax, a beard of spots isn't going to look any better

    Its hard to ignore a whacking great ronnie on a woman, I am not talking about a bit of fuzz on your lip. I mean actual whiskers! Its distracting as hell.

    Just because it is distracting doesn't mean they should be obliged to remove it.

    But why would they want to keep it? That's my question, why does a woman with a very visible moustache not do anything about it?

    OP planning to drop the mouth on her mate but needs a smooth lip first?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭The Pontiac


    Could she not just have a shave? I think it's an urban myth that it causes the hair to grow back faster.
    The number of women who shave their face is on the rise. Once upon a time a woman might whack away at a rogue hair or two sprouting from her upper lip or chin, but now she is more inclined to want all traces of peach fuzz gone from the entire face.
    The first and most common misunderstanding when it comes to shaving is that the hair will grow back darker and thicker. While this is indeed possible, the hair will only thicken and darken up when the skin becomes stressed by invasive shaving techniques and chemically inappropriate product ingredients.

    Because lots of people have a reaction to waxes & Veet and chemicals like that. Or maybe she's just happy with the bleaching.
